What's the goal for the rear fenders? I see a piece for the sideskirt, but will there be a piece for the rear bumper as well? Looking at the molding of the rear part of the widening and how far it runs down on to the rear fascia I'm suspecting the answer is no. Thinking as well that these will likely be fiberglass, is that correct?
Are there any concept sketches you could share with the community?

ShocknAwe It is actually one piece. This saves us from having several molds which increase pricing by a lot and yes it will be made out of fiberglass. I should have side view shots hopefully by tomorrow. |

project jayden > The OEM 135i liners are way short (no wiggle room, I tried). 1M's use the E92 M3 liners which are wider. Will still require some modification, but a better base overall.
Good stuff man! You going rivets on those bad boys or bondo? |

N5tuner's kit will most likely be less aggressive because they are creating a lip on there's to match the lip of their front fenders (or any OEM fender for that matter) so that the rears flows well with the rest of the car.

I really hate the OEM cloth/fiber/whatever the heck they are liners. Glad to hear the 1M liner is plastic.

Front wide fenders are great as there's no bullshit to them. 15mm extra width lets you square up tyre and bring down the offsets to about a +30. No front bumper or side skirt issues. Great for track work. I'd save this rear work for drag racing only (personally)

I wish their front end wide body kit (performance style one) has the same "functionality" as the OEM ones where you need extra piping for the "cold air package" to direct air into the brakes. Otherwise, that front end + widebody = winner.

Another option is bringing the back portion, all the way to the bottom of the quarterpanel, for a better visual effect.
